Set on a very large plot at the edge of Great Barford, this 1870 detached home combines period character with recent high-standard renovation. The main house offers three double bedrooms, a master with en-suite, spacious reception rooms and far-reaching countryside views — ideal for family living or countryside lifestyle buyers. Good road links to Bedford, the A1 and Cambridge keep the property connected while riverside walks, a village shop and pub are moments away.
A converted one-bedroom annex completed in 2023 (Coalville Cottage) was created from a triple garage and benefits from underfloor heating throughout, supplied by an eco-friendly air source heat pump. The annex provides private, flexible accommodation suitable for multi-generational living, home working or short-let (Airbnb) income, while the main plot includes a garage, barn, outbuildings, stables and paddocks suitable for horses or small livestock.
Practical points to note: council tax is rated expensive and the extensive grounds, outbuildings and paddocks will require ongoing maintenance. Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. The property has been renovated recently, but the size and number of outbuildings mean prospective buyers should allow time and budget for upkeep and running costs.
Overall this is a rare rural offering that blends historic charm, modern eco heating and flexible ancillary accommodation. It will suit buyers seeking space, countryside views and equestrian potential, as well as investors looking for a strong multi-let or holiday-let opportunity.
